- Make planet only for personal blogs about KDE related things.

I wouldn't want to see any of this on Planet KDE. I'd be on Facebook, Insta, 
X, whatever, if I was interested in such content.

Citing https://invent.kde.org/websites/planet-kde-org/-/blob/master/README.md
"Blog content should be mostly KDE themed and not liable to offend. If you have 
a general blog you may want to set up a tag and subscribe the feed for that 
tag only to Planet KDE."

I fully subscribe to this.
